Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi’s much-anticipated film Bhool Chuk Maaf may have opened to a modest response, but it has shown signs of steady growth over its opening weekend. Blending elements of time-loop comedy and drama, the movie has gradually managed to capture audience attention.
Film Overview
Bhool Chuk Maaf is a quirky take on second chances and destiny, revolving around characters caught in a time loop. With Rajkummar Rao in a familiar, yet charming role and Wamiqa Gabbi delivering a fresh performance, the film aimed to bring both entertainment and depth. However, prior to release, confusion around its OTT and theatrical release strategy created uncertainty, possibly impacting its initial performance.
Box Office Collection Breakdown
- Friday (Opening Day):
The film started slow, earning around ₹7 crore. Given Rajkummar Rao’s previous performances, the opening was slightly underwhelming, but not unexpected considering the limited pre-release buzz. - Saturday:
Day two saw a slight dip, bringing in approximately ₹5 crore. Despite being a weekend day, the drop highlighted the film’s struggle to attract wider footfall quickly. - Sunday:
On its third day, Bhool Chuk Maaf witnessed a minor uptick, collecting ₹4 crore. The word-of-mouth seemed to have a subtle effect, as families and younger audiences turned up in better numbers.
Total Opening Weekend Collection: ₹16 crore
Audience & Critical Response
The film received mixed reviews from critics. While some praised its concept and performances, others felt the execution lacked novelty. Rajkummar Rao’s portrayal was appreciated for its consistency, but critics noted that his character didn’t stray far from his usual roles. Wamiqa Gabbi, though sincere, is still establishing herself in the mainstream space.
Outlook for the Coming Week
The road ahead will depend on weekday hold. With a mid-budget structure and limited competition at the box office currently, Bhool Chuk Maaf could still recover ground if it maintains steady weekday numbers and capitalizes on any surge in word-of-mouth appreciation.
Final Thoughts
Bhool Chuk Maaf hasn’t stormed the box office, but it hasn’t completely faltered either. A ₹16 crore weekend haul indicates that while the film didn’t make a huge splash, it has a foundation to build upon. Whether it turns into a sleeper hit will depend on how it performs in the next few days.
